<h1 align="center">Reverse geocoding</h1>
<br>
<p>
PyNetMony PC-Tool provides basic reverse geocoding functionality for all elements in your databases with valid coordinates. An active internet connection is definately required!<br>
To view the estimated address of a listentry, click:<br>
WLAN/CLF... -> Get address<br>
or press the "a" key. This will show the street, city and zip-code in the lower left corner of the application.<br>
Note, that Google Maps is used for this reverse geocoding process, and using this functionality may violate Googles terms of use.<br>
Furthermore note, that reverse geocoding is NOT officially supported by Google Maps. The technique to still gather this information can be very unprecise and not satisfying.<br>
<br>
Gathering location-information is heavily dependent on where your Access Points etc. are located!<br>
Street-lookup requires the possibility of calculating routes with Google Maps using the coordinates in your database. Note, that when using iso-8859-1 as encoding, non-ASCII-letters won't be displayed correctly.<br>
It seems to work in the following countries:<br>
- Germany<br>
- France<br>
- Spain<br>
- Sweden<br>
- Italy<br>
- Austria<br>
- Belgium<br>
- United Kingdom<br>
- Netherlands<br>
- Portugal<br>
<br>
Limited lookup seems to work in:<br>
- Russia (which is a guess since I can't read what is displayed) - UTF-8 definately required!<br>
- Turkey<br>
- Japan (which is a guess since I can't read what is displayed) - UTF-8 definately required!<br>
- China (which is a guess since I can't read what is displayed) - UTF-8 definately required!<br>
- Thailand<br>
- India<br>
<br>
Currently, it seems <b>NOT</b> to work in:<br>
- Iran<br>
- Pakistan<br>
- Afghanistan<br>
- Korea (north and south)<br>
- United arab emirates<br>
- Oman<br>
- Yemen<br>
- Iraq<br>
<br>
I haven't tested with other countries. Your feedback is welcome.<br>
<br>
City- and zip-code-lookup is a <u>VERY</u> tricky task. Returned results may not be satisfiying.<br>
